Taxi to Parking
I was just crossing the street on the way home when someone stepped right out in front of the Goldwing. It was dark and rainy, so I didn't see him until he was right in my headlight. If I had been driving a car I would have killed him.
I swerved the bike hard, missed him (or her, I never did see) but dumped the bike on the wet pavement.
Epilogue: The bike is rideable and mostly OK, although the forward fairing is rashed up pretty good, and the highway peg is bent in. Oh well, now it matches the other side. Bike soaked up most of hte crash pretty well, actually. My right ankle hurts like hell, but it was OK last night, so its probably just inflammation.
Over 20 years of riding, and nothing, NOTHING! Aaarrrrggghhhh!
